My Last Mock Draft of 2010

** Update ** If you would like to follow me on Twitter as I “tweet” about the draft, follow @ZReportDraft and I will be commenting on picks as well as giving out info as I get it. You can also follow me at @LanceZierlein too.

In my final Mock Draft, I decided to project a few trades since there will be some this year. I had the Eagles moving to 11 and trading with Denver in order to land Earl Thomas which would help fill a huge void at free safety. With that extra 2nd round pick, I had the Broncos moving back up from 24 to 16 and taking the center they want, Maurkice Pouncey. I have the Titans moving back in that scenario because it allows them to add a 2nd rounder which will be ammunition to go and get Albert Haynesworth from the Redskins.

4. Washington Redskins — Trent Williams, LT, Oklahoma: Williams is the best real tackle in this draft (sorry Bruce Campbell, you don’t count) so he is the guy here unless Redskins fear the knock on him that he’s a little bit lazy.

5. Kansas City Chiefs — Eric Berry, FS, Tennessee: Chiefs aren’t a free safety away from getting into playoff contention so they are looking to sell this pick. If they can’t, we’ll plug Berry in here.

6. Seattle Seahawks — Russell Okung, LT, Oklahoma State: Okung not an elite LT in terms of athleticism, but Alex Gibbs will be happy to add him to the line.

7. Cleveland Browns — Joe Haden, CB, Florida: With Berry off the board, Browns turn their attention to another player they seem to be in love with. If Haden doesn’t go here, he could fall a little ways.

9. Buffalo Bills — Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee: Bills could look to replace Marshawn Lynch with Spiller, but Williams is a much better fit in the middle of the 3-4 than Kyle Williams is.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars — Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech: The Jaguars need to stop three offense within their division that feature explosive offensive talent so a pass rusher who is solid against the run works for them. Try, try again until you succeed (at drafting defensive ends).

*trade w/ Den* 11. Philadelphia Eagles — Earl Thomas, CB/FS, Texas: Thomas has tremendous ball skills and third-level awareness. Smart football player and a safety who could help the Eagles secondary immediately.

12. Miami Dolphins — C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson: Ronnie Brown has had injury problems and Ricky Williams is getting older and older. The Dolphins could draft Spiller and cut or trade Ronnie Brown, so don’t laugh this pick off so quickly.

13. San Francisco 49’ers — Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa: If Bulaga falls to them, they would have to be ecstatic. The Niners need to improve their offensive line and Bulaga can come in and start at RT immediately.

14. Seattle Seahawks — Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State: The Seahawks have swung and missed on their WRs moves over the last three years, but they have to get better in that area and Bryant gives the offense a playmaker, which it desperately needs. They can get pass rusher later.

15. New York Giants — Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan: The Giants will be parting ways with Osi Umenyiora soon and Kiwanuka will be a free agent after next year. Graham has a great motor and is a well-schooled pass rusher.

*trade w/Den (from 24)* 16. Denver Broncos — Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida: The Broncos could go from 11 to 24 and then back up to 16 and still get the guy they want since they have two picks in the 2nd and will have added another in a trade back with the Eagles and the Titans would be in position to get a 2nd rounder that they could use to acquire Albert Haynesworth.

17. San Francisco 49’ers — Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State: I think this could be a trade-up spot for Jerry Hughes, Mike Iupati or Ryan Mathews so beware. If they sit tight, the Niners will consider Wilson, Clausen, Hughes and Sergio Kindle.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers — Mike Iupati, LG, Idaho: The Steelers actually have a bigger need at center than guard, but with Big Ben possibly on the outs in Pittsburgh, a return to power running will be on the way and Iupati fits that mold and might be able to be molded into a tackle.

19. Atlanta Falcons — Jerry Hughes, DE, TCU: Falcons get pass rushing threat that they hoped they would get with J. Anderson.

20. Houston Texans — Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State: Texans expected to draft a running back in first or second round, but Mathews too good a fit not to be the favorite in this spot considering the depth at CB in the 2nd round. Texans could take a risk and trade back a few spots and hope that Mathews is still on the board when they pick.

21. Cincinnati Bengals — Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama: I hate the idea of drafting a tight end at 21 considering how deep the TE draft is, so I’m not going Jermaine Greshem here like everyone else is. With McClain in the middle and Rivers and Maualuga flanking him, the Bengals will have one of the best LB corps in the league.

22. New England Patriots — Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas: Kindle is the type of nasty athlete that Belichick likes. The Patriots need an OLB who can run and who can get up the field and rush the passer.

23. Green Bay Packers — Tyson Alualu, DT/DE, Cal: Good 3-4 defenses are built on the foundation of a good defensive line and Alualu can fit into the 3-4 as a DE who can rush the passer which isn’t always easy to find from that position.

*trade w/Den from 16* 24. Tennessee Titans — Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama: The Titans need a defensive end and a cornerback, but by trading back, they can pick up another 2nd rounder which will help with a trade for Haynesworth. With Haynesworth in the fold, they can address CB first and DE later in the draft.

25. Baltimore Ravens — Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma: Sources say the Ravens are very high on DeMaryious Thomas, but with Gresham on the board, they would have to consider taking him here and addressing a vertical threat at WR later in the draft.

26. Arizona Cardinals — Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri: Weatherspoon is the perfect fit inside in the Cards 3-4 scheme and will be better than Karlos Dansby.

27. Dallas Cowboys — Rodger Saffold, LT, Indiana: The Cowboys will be tempted to take Taylor Mays here and maybe even WR DeMaryious Thomas, but the smart choice would be Rodger Saffold who could come in and compete for either the left or right tackle spots (which both need help).

28. San Diego Chargers — Jared Odrick, DE/DT Penn State: Odrick is one of the top 3-4 DEs in this draft and the Chargers certainly have a huge need at that position.

29. New York Jets — Linval Joseph, DE/DT, East Carolina: Because of Joseph’s combination of size and relative quickness, teams have been warming up to him as a fit in the 3-4.

30. Minnesota Vikings — Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame: With Clausen still on the board, the Vikings can avoid the mistake that would be Tim Tebow in this spot.

31. Indianapolis Colts — Vladimir Ducasse, OT/OG, UMass: The Colts are looking to get more physical up front and Ducasse is a work in progress who has potential to play outside or inside.

32. New Orleans Saints — Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida: The Saints would probably love to get their paws on DeMarious Thomas, but how do they pass up a pass rusher with upside when that is still a concern despite the addition of Alex Brown?
